Introducing our Perimenopause Toolkit

Perimenopause and menopause can have a dramatic effect on skin and hair — much of it, unfortunately, unwelcome. The good news is that we have many years of experience helping our Ayla community through it, whether with serums that can address hair loss or products (internal and external) that are clinically proven to boost collagen.

You’ll find our favorite recommendations in this Peri/Menopause Toolkit. We also highly recommend booking a complimentary check-in with one of our Guides to help you narrow down the options, especially if you’re noticing changes in your skin and hair.

But we also know that products can’t do all the heavy lifting on their own; if you’re perimenopausal, your body is going through some significant shifts, and addressing those more systemically will benefit your whole body.

One of our favorite brands for peri/menopause is the UK-based MPOWDER, which wraps their thoughtful supplements with a considerable amount of support: a complimentary 1-on-1 consultation with their naturopath for each Ayla customer, calls with their Health Concierge anytime, and monthly masterclasses that you'll get tickets to with every purchase.

Don't miss this excellent overview of perimenopause, postmenopause, and everything in between with Dr. Jila Senemar, one of our favorite experts on the topic. 

We also encourage you to check out our perimenopause-focused interviews with the brilliant Harvard- and MIT-educated Dr. Sara Gottfried:

Perimenopause 102
Sleep problems & brain fog, aka Perimenopause 103

And you'll find some perimenopause- and menopause-related content on our blog, which is a veritable treasure trove of information on this topic:

We hope you find this helpful. One of the most important things to keep in mind as you go through perimenopause and menopause is that everyone’s journey is different — so personalized, one-on-one advice is priceless. As you look for skincare and haircare products to suit your changing needs, we encourage you to lean on our Guides!
